Okay, here goes...
The crew included Tom (Curmudgeon), me (Linn Schulz), Charlie Ipcar (Charley Noble), Dianne Lavoie, Don Hale, Ernie Pigeon (NbptErnie), Amy DeSilva, Steve Willard and his wife, and another Cape Ann couple whose names I don't know, Tami Bill (Ranger1), Jeri, Carol Coronis (for a bit before heading to a gig), Susan Young, Alan Eaton, Jeffrey Huntsman (old friend of Charlie's; from Indiana), Mike Dibble (from Somerset, England, visiting his daughter in Portsmouth), John Forti, Ellen and Dave Hamil, Barbara Benn… And then Steve Smith arrived…direct from Portsmouth Reg. Hospital where he's been since Thursday afternoon. I mean, he came right to the session without going home…from the HOSPITAL! (Okay, that says something for the healing powers of music, I think.) And Justine came in, too, to sing a few songs.

3. Home, Dearie, Home – Linn Schulz
